27 Life and Death
Death-its desolation and horror-bleak spaces-sea-bottom-dead cities. But Life-the greater horror! Vast unheard-of reptiles and leviathans-hideous beasts of prehistoric jungle-rank slimy vegetation-evil instincts of primal man-Life is more horrible than death.

The game is puzzle platformer that revolves around a mechanic involving life and death. When the character dies, it's not the end of his journey. The player will find themselves in situations where death is in the answer to solving the puzzle.

We hope you will enjoy this journey !!!!!

My God!

This game is amazing! Its simple yet beautiful artwork reminds me of the games I played as a child and the game play can only be described as mind-bendingly challenging, yet accessible. This honestly has made my day.

While the pixel artist here has skills I don't like how so many people are obsessed with imitating the Cave Story style. I don't mean to sound unfair, but when I see this style I feel like I'm playing a Cave Story fangame. Idea here I guess is decent, but somewhere in the line of cliche seeing how there's plenty of "dark/flipped/mirror world"- kinda ideas as of late, for one it's not a very spectacular experience.

As for performance maybe the most pointed out fact, it's awful for few of us, hence we should assume there's something wrong. That noise effect might be the cause of this. Not only it's a flash killer, it's also a very easy and overused way to express distortion, darkness and such, which I believe you went for. Also as a vivid pixel art fan and hobbyist I find it a very cheap and dirty solution.

Music is well composed, but needs variety. It gets repeative and boring already after hearing it three times. Tell you what though, the atmospheric change when you go to underworld is a jackpot.

Interesting and fresh

I really enjoyed playing through this! I'm sure I'll return to play again from time to time too. The gameplay was great, I had no issues with lag or anything. Also, it was relatively challenging in some spots of the puzzles. Overall, I loved the feel and play-ability of the game. Very sad and kinda simple yet deep story. There should be more games like this out there!
Also, the music reminded me of parts of the Golden Sun series, which is really cool. Great job on the soundtrack; it was beautiful, sad and mysterious, which fits perfectly!
